Description
-----------

This driver supports the Genesys Logic GL520SM chip.

The GL520SM implements one temperature sensor, two fan rotation speed
sensors, four voltage sensors and the cpu VID lines. In addition, one input
can be configured as either a temperature or voltage sensor.
The sensor can report alarms through the computer speakers.

Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm goes off while the
temperature is above the over temperature limit, and has not yet dropped
below the hysteresis limit. The alarm always reflects the current situation.
Measurements are guaranteed between 0 degrees and +110 degrees, with
a resolution of +-3 degrees.

Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit.
In case when you have selected to turn Fan1 off, no Fan1 alarm is triggered
if measured temperature is below 'over temperature' limit.

Fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 1900 RPM.

Voltage sensors (also known as VIN sensors) report their values in volts. An
alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. The VDD input
measures voltages between 0.000 and 5.865 volt, with a resolution of 0.023
volt. The other inputs measure voltages between 0.000 and 4.845 volt, with a
resolution of 0.019 volt.

When an alarm goes off, you can be warned by a beeping signal through
your computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally,
or only the beeping for some alarms.

If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once (except for temperature alarms). This means that the 
cause for the alarm may already have disappeared!  Note that in the current 
implementation, all hardware registers are read whenever any data is read 
(unless it is less than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that 
you can easily miss once-only alarms.

The GL520SM only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
